JAN 1 193, BOOK 5 ",' ; . 646 Assistant County Attorney Bill Collins explained that when this matter first came before the Board on December 13th, the Board directed him to write a letter to City Manager John Little asking them to delay any action on going ahead with the sale of the property and the abandonment of the road until the concerns of the Rockridge residents had been addressed. The way it came out at that meeting was that no one had wanted to work any hardship on the residents of Rockridge, and we thought it would be in their best interests not to have through traffic in their neighborhood. If that was a misunderstanding, the Board recommended that everyone involved get together and work something out, and Mr. Schlitt agreed. After receiving our letter about delaying any action, Mr. Little called saying that as far as the City was concerned, they were moving ahead properly and legally, and that the only way they would delay anything was if the County wanted to buy that road instead of Mr. Schlitt. Attorney Collins stated that he didn't take it any further, because he didn't think it was something the County wanted to do. Bill Nelson, resident of Rockridge, was annoyed at the argument the City is giving for closing the road, i.e. a hazardous condition, at the meeting of December 13th when the Commission agreed to send a letter to the City. He stressed that it only surfaced the next day at the meeting with Mr. Schlitt, the City, the County, and the residents of Rockridge. Chairman Wheeler felt we have done what we could when we asked the City to reconsider taking the barricades down until the matter was resolved. SOUTH COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT MEETING The Chairman announced that immediately following adjournment, the Board would reconvene sitting as the District Board of Fire Commissioners of the South Indian River County Fire District. Those Minutes are being prepared separately. 46
